This year makes it four in a row for Abode as the company wins yet another Award at the Designer magazine Awards presentations. This year it is for its creatively designed, heavyweight, sloping Verso kitchen tap, which is a feat of engineering excellence.

The Gold Award is the highest classification for products in the Product Innovation Award categories at the Design Awards 2011, organised by Designer magazine. Products achieving the Gold standard have been judged to be real innovators within their particular product category.

A jubilant Darren Holliday, Managing Director of Abode says: "We wanted to give consumers something completely different and we feel that Verso has achieved this. Verso is a beautifully proportioned, highly creative kitchen mixer tap with softened square edges and slimline spout creating a stunning architectural addition to any kitchen.

"Available in chrome and brushed nickel to complement other kitchen appliances, the tall sloping spout sits comfortably on its shaped heavyweight base with paddle type handles."
